ya me too looking at the tracker and nothing really to do bugs the heck outta me (really bad) I just want the motor done so I can get back to work on it

well dropped motor off  to get work done should be ready in couple weeks as I told the guy I wasn't in a rush and he told me that it would be done before then. so it gets new valve, intake, oil pan, front and rear seal and o-ring that between the  block that has a tendency to leak. new timing chain and gears guides and tensioners. water pump and oil pump. So with all this work done I should be go to go for a while 

well motor will be done  tomorrow and will be picking it up Saturday and starting install Sunday . So getting excited to start working on this as I only got 4 weeks till dead line .....in my eyes. I don't know if this pic worked but it is the front motor with all the chains and everything on, sure glad I got it done by others and not me

well picked up motor on Friday, put some stuff back on and took some off (exhaust manifolds) got tranny in and motor mounts bolted down. Now after along time not working on it trying to remember where stuff goes. tomorrow will be mating the motor and tranny together. Sure looks big in there compared to the 4cyl 

You still have a lot of room in there.  Good to see you moving forward again.  What does the driveline look like with the motor in?

no exhaust manifolds on. haven't looked at the driveshaft  fitment yet and now I got to get the wifes murano running again gotta change the alternator so tracker down again for a couple days, but on the high note motor is in 

 So this weekend was a busy one, fixed wifes car so that I could work on tracker. I got the tranny mated and then realized I forgot the spacer  >:(so pulled all apart (2 steps forward 4 back) now back on track and back together flywheel/torque converter done, steering done hooked some wiring  hooked up. Still haven't tried driveshaft  Starting to come together better than I thought, hope that doesn't jinx me   

well a lot more progress done. exhaust manifolds and y pipe hooked up rear driveshaft fits ....so no lengthening or shortening thank god (didn't need to explain that expense to the wife). Front driveshaft  done, interior half way there  seats and console left, rad and AC stuff grill hood and a couple little odds and ends that take way longer to do than expected. Maybe by the weekend or next but when it all comes down to my deadline I think that I might make the test run by Sept1 or earlier yah me

Well alot has happened in the last couple weeks everything hooked up had a battery arc problem fixed that, now went to start and code PO340 camshaft position sensor A bank 1 malfunction so no VROOM VROOM till that's fixed

If it makes you feel better we burned out a computer last time we tried to fire up my Red Tracker. 

Is that the cobalt conversion at BRD HNTR... How's that going?

I think that the ECM fried in the accident that cut one third of the power wires to the ECM.  We never had appropriate responses to power up.
We have a reflashed computer now, still need to get clutch master cylinder that will connect to the chevy quick disconnect fitting.

well found out the camshaft sensor was out 1/4", I guess threw all the movement the motor has taken something had to move. So fixed that and found that the spark was to much, huh go figure to much spark...uhmm . so new plugs installed and found injector plug was not totally plugged together. so scanned again for codes and nothing showed and said to son turn it over to see if it will fire ,and it coughed so tried again and VROOM she's alive again. Now just need to do a bit of tweaking and I'm all done ....for now I will take video of running tomorrow and post ,just got to dark tonight

Congratulations on getting it running.  We look forward to seeing more of it.  I guess that means I need to get back to working on mine.  I am jealous of all the engine swaps, but mine is still running well.

the previous 2L motor ran great it only had 180,000 kms on it. My problem was brd hntr threw a bug in my ear. I really appreciate all the advice I get from all the members here when I ran into problems
